Hello,

If the bank detects unusual or suspicious transactions involving third parties, they may freeze the account to investigate whether any illegal activities (such as money laundering or fraud) are involved.

Contact your bank directly to inquire about the specific reason for the freeze. Banks typically freeze accounts after receiving a court order, or if they suspect illegal activities.

If the freeze is due to suspicious transactions, you may be required to provide supporting documents that prove the legitimacy of the third-party transactions.

Hello,

If your bank account has been frozen in the UAE due to third-party transactions, it is essential to address the matter promptly and follow the appropriate steps to resolve the issue.

Typically, accounts are frozen either under instructions from law enforcement authorities, the Central Bank of the UAE, or the bank itself due to concerns about compliance with anti-money laundering regulations or other legal requirements.

The first step is to contact your bank directly to understand the specific reason for the freeze. If the issue relates to missing or incomplete documentation, such as KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, you can provide the necessary documents to rectify the situation.

However, if the account has been frozen due to a legal matter, such as a court order or an ongoing investigation, it may require engaging a legal professional to intervene on your behalf.

Your lawyer can approach the relevant authorities, including the police or the courts, to obtain clarity on the matter and work towards unblocking the account.

Providing evidence to demonstrate that you are not involved in any wrongdoing can strengthen your case and expedite the process.

Additionally, if you believe the account was unjustly frozen, you may lodge a complaint with the UAE Central Bank, which has the authority to investigate and direct the bank to take corrective measures.

The likelihood of unblocking the account depends on the reason for the freeze and your ability to address the underlying issue effectively.

If you need further assistance or representation in dealing with the authorities, I would be happy to help.

Please feel free to contact me directly by phone or via email to discuss your case further.
